PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Flex Ltd., Singapore
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Flex Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 26, 2025, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, and shareholders’ equity for the six-month periods ended September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month periods ended September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, redeemable noncontrolling interest and shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated May 21, 2025, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The first quarters for fiscal years 2026 and 2025 ended on June 27, 2025, which is comprised of 88 days in the period, and June 28, 2024, which is comprised of 89 days, respectively. The second quarters for fiscal years 2026 and 2025 ended on September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024, respectively, which are comprised of 91 days in both periods.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flex and its subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The Company consolidates subsidiaries and investments in entities in which the Company has a controlling interest.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are
10
used in accounting for, among other things: allowances for doubtful accounts; inventory write-downs; valuation allowances for deferred tax assets; uncertain tax positions; valuation and useful lives of long-lived assets including property, equipment, and intangible assets; valuation of goodwill; valuation of investments in privately held companies; asset impairments; fair values of financial instruments, notes receivable and derivative instruments; restructuring charges; contingencies; warranty provisions; incremental borrowing rates in determining the present value of lease payments; accruals for potential price adjustments arising from customer contracts; fair values of assets obtained and liabilities assumed in business combinations; valuation of warrants, and the fair values of restricted share unit awards granted under the Company's stock-based compensation plans. Due to global economic conditions, including the impact of ongoing trade conflicts and tariffs, and geopolitical conflicts (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas conflict, and other geopolitical conflicts) there has been and will continue to be uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. The Company has made estimates and assumptions taking into consideration certain possible impacts due to the foregoing factors. These estimates may change, as new events occur, and additional information is obtained. Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period they occur.
Impact of Missile Strike in Ukraine
During the three months ended September 26, 2025, the Company recognized $23 million of long-lived asset impairments, $13 million of inventory write-downs and $5 million of other charges as a result of a missile strike on its Mukachevo, Ukraine facility in Western Ukraine on August 21, 2025. The missile strike represents an unusual and infrequent event as hostilities related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine have been primarily focused in Eastern Ukraine. The missile strike caused substantial physical damage and disrupted normal operations at the facility. In response, the Company activated contingency manufacturing plans and transitioned production to alternative facilities. As restoration activities progress in Mukachevo, the Company expects to incur additional immaterial near-term inefficiencies. The total $41 million expense is included in restructuring and impairment charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and income taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026. The Company expects the new guidance will have an immaterial impact on its consolidated financial statements, and intends to adopt the guidance prospectively when it becomes effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses", which requires public entities to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2028 and will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented on its consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the impact on the Company's disclosures. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 on the same topic to clarify the amendments for ASU 2024-03 are effective for the Company in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2028.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)", which eliminates prescriptive software development stages, requiring capitalization upon funding authorization and commitment. Additionally, the ASU clarifies the scope for capitalization and supersedes website development guidance. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2029. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the method of adoption and impact on the Company's disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets", which provides for the use of a new practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses for accounts receivable and contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606 that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The guidance is effective for the Company, and has been adopted, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026.

During the six-month period ended September 26, 2025, goodwill increased by $34 million with $8 million from an acquisition completed in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 and currency impacts of $26 million. See note 12 for further details.

Customer Working Capital Advances
Customer working capital advances were $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion as of September 26, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The customer working capital advances are not interest-bearing, do not generally have fixed repayment dates and are generally reduced as the underlying working capital is consumed in production or the customer working capital advance agreement is terminated.
12
Other Non-Current Assets

Other Current Liabilities
Other current liabilities include customer-related accruals of $304 million and $246 million as of September 26, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
Supplier Finance Programs
The Company has four supplier finance programs, all of which have substantially similar characteristics, with various financial institutions that act as the paying agent for certain payables of the Company. The Company established these programs through agreements with the financial institutions to enable more efficient payment processing to our suppliers while also providing our suppliers a potential source of liquidity to the extent they choose to sell their receivables to the financial institutions in advance of the due dates. Our suppliers’ participation in the programs is voluntary, the Company is not involved in negotiations of the suppliers’ arrangements with the financial institutions to sell their receivables, and our rights and obligations to our suppliers are not impacted by our suppliers’ decisions to sell amounts under these programs. Under these supplier finance programs, the Company pays the financial institutions the stated amount of confirmed invoices from its participating suppliers on the original maturity dates of the invoices. All payment terms are short-term in nature and are not dependent on whether the suppliers participate in the supplier finance programs or if the suppliers elect to receive early payment from the financial institutions. No guarantees are provided by the Company under the supplier finance programs and the Company incurs no costs related to the programs. The Company has no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in the supplier finance programs.
3. REVENUE
Contract Balances
A contract asset is recognized when the Company has recognized revenue but not issued an invoice for payment. Contract assets are classified separately on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and transferred to receivables when rights to payment become unconditional and invoiced.
A contract liability is recognized when the Company receives payments in advance of the satisfaction of performance. Contract liabilities, identified as deferred revenue, were $429 million and $377 million as of September 26, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively, of which $392 million and $347 million, respectively, is included in deferred revenue and customer working capital advances under current liabilities.
Warrant
During the quarter ended September 26, 2025, the Company issued a warrant (“the Warrant”) to a customer for the purchase of up to an aggregate of approximately 3.9 million ordinary shares of the Company ("Warrant Shares"). The Warrant Shares vest based on qualifying payments (as defined in the Warrant) for the purchase of all products and services over the term of the Warrant and are recognized as a deduction to revenue as qualifying revenues are recognized. Refer to “Note 4 – Share-Based Compensation and Warrants” for further information.

The 2017 Plan
During the six-month period ended September 26, 2025, the Company granted approximately 4.3 million restricted share unit ("RSU") awards. Of this amount, approximately 2.0 million are plain-vanilla unvested RSU awards that vest over a period of three years , with no performance or market conditions, with an average grant date price of $43.92 per award. In addition, approximately 1.0 million unvested shares represent the target amount of grants made to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent on certain performance conditions, with an average grant date price of $45.09 per award. These performance-based RSUs include awards tied to the Company's adjusted earnings per share growth and awards tied to operating profit goals. The number of shares that will ultimately vest will range from zero up to a maximum of approximately 2.4 million based on the level of achievement of these performance conditions. The awards will cliff vest after a period of three years , depending on the specific performance metrics, to the extent such performance conditions have been met. Further, approximately 0.2 million unvested shares represent the target amount of grants made to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent on certain market conditions. The average grant date fair value of these awards that are contingent on certain market conditions was estimated to be $58.55 per award and was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The number of shares contingent on market conditions that ultimately will vest will range from zero up to a maximum of approximately 0.4 million based on a measurement of the percentile rank of the Company’s total shareholder return over certain specified periods against the Company's peer companies, and will cliff vest after a period of three years , to the extent such market conditions have been met. The remaining balance of approximately 1.1 million represents the number of shares issued upon the vesting of RSU awards above target levels based on the achievement of certain market and performance conditions for awards granted in fiscal year 2023. These awards were issued and immediately vested in accordance with the terms and conditions of the underlying awards.
14
As of September 26, 2025, approximately 9.7 million unvested RSU awards under the 2017 Plan were outstanding, of which vesting for a targeted amount of approximately 0.8 million shares is contingent on meeting certain market conditions, and vesting for a targeted amount of approximately 1.7 million shares is contingent on meeting certain performance conditions. The number of shares tied to market conditions that will ultimately be issued can range from zero to approximately 1.7 million based on the achievement levels. The number of shares tied to performance conditions that will ultimately be issued can range from zero to approximately 3.9 million based on the achievement levels. During the six-month period ended September 26, 2025, approximately 2.3 million shares vested in connection with the awards with market and performance conditions granted in fiscal year 2023.
As of September 26, 2025, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSU awards under the 2017 Plan was approximately $265 million and will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.2 years.
Warrant
On August 15, 2025, the Company issued the Warrant to Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC (“Warrantholder”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. ("Parent") to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,859,851 Warrant Shares at an exercise price of $51.29 per share, which is the preceding 30 trading days Volume-Weighted Average Price. The Warrant allows for cashless exercise and expires on August 15, 2030; however, if there are unexercised Warrant Shares as of the expiration date, and the Company and Warrantholder maintain a continued commercial relationship, the Company shall negotiate in good faith with Warrantholder to agree to issue to Warrantholder a new two-year warrant as of the expiration date that provides the same exercise price and other terms for vested and unexercised Warrant Shares, that also takes into account the commercial relationship in effect at such time. The Warrant Shares are subject to vesting based on qualifying payments (as defined in the Warrant) for the purchase of all products and services by or on behalf of Parent and its affiliates over the term of the Warrant. Upon the consummation of an acquisition transaction (as defined in the related transaction agreement), subject to a specified condition, the unvested portion of the Warrant will vest in full. So long as the Warrant is unexercised, the Warrant does not entitle Warrantholder to any voting rights or any other shareholder rights. The exercise price and the number of Warrant Shares are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The expense associated with the Warrant Shares will be recorded as a deduction to revenue as the customer purchases products and services over the vesting period.
The estimated fair value of the Warrant was determined as of the issuance date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used in the model:
| As of August 15, 2025 | |||||
| Expected volatility | % | ||||
| Expected dividend yield | % | ||||
| Expected life | |||||
| Risk-free interest rate | % | ||||
The calculated fair value of each Warrant Share at the issuance date was $25.47 . The Company recorded charges of $2 million during the three months ended September 26, 2025. No Warrant Shares vested, or were exercised, during the three months ended September 26, 2025.

The 2030 Credit Facility
In July 2025, the Company entered into a new $2.75 billion credit facility (“2030 Credit Facility”) which matures in July 2030 and consists of a $2.75 billion revolving credit facility with a sub-limit of $400 million available for swing line loans and a sub-limit of $200 million available for the issuance of letters of credit. The 2030 Credit Facility replaced the previous $2.5 billion credit facility, which was due to mature in July 2027. Borrowings under the 2030 Credit Facility bear interest at the Company’s option at various market based rates, adjusted for the Company’s credit rating, or at the SOFR or similar non-reporting currency benchmarks based on the underlying borrowing currency, adjusted for the Company’s credit rating. The Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unutilized portion of the 2030 Credit Facility ranging from 0.100 % to 0.275 % per annum, based on the Company’s credit ratings. The Company is also required to pay letter of credit usage fees ranging from 1.00 % to 1.750 % per annum, based on the Company’s credit ratings, on the daily average amount of outstanding letters of credit and a fronting fee of 0.125 % per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each letter of credit.
Term Loan due December 2027
In March 2025, the Company entered into a $500 million delayed draw term loan agreement. Borrowings under the delayed draw term loan may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, refinancing of current debt, and other general purposes. All borrowings on the delayed draw term loan will come due on December 31, 2027. Interest is based on a Term SOFR-based formula plus a margin of 100 basis points. The Company had $500 million in borrowings outstanding under the loan agreement as of September 26, 2025.

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company enters into short-term and long-term foreign currency derivative contracts, including forward, swap, and options contracts, to hedge only those currency exposures associated with certain assets and liabilities, primarily accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt, and cash flows denominated in non-functional currencies. Gains and losses on the Company's derivative contracts are designed to offset losses and gains on the assets, liabilities and transactions hedged, and accordingly, generally do not subject the Company to risk of significant accounting losses. The Company hedges committed exposures and does not engage in speculative transactions. The credit risk of these derivative contracts is minimized since the contracts are with large financial institutions and, accordingly, fair value adjustments related to the credit risk of the counterparty financial institutions were not material.
As of September 26, 2025, the aggregate notional amount of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts was $7.0 billion as summarized below:

As of September 26, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s short-term foreign currency contracts was included in other current assets or other current liabilities, as applicable, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Certain of these contracts are designed to economically hedge the Company’s exposure to monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a non-functional currency and are not accounted for as hedges under the accounting standards. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized in earnings during the period of change as a component of other charges (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company also has included net deferred gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, relating to changes in fair value of its foreign currency contracts that are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Deferred gains were $30 million as of September 26, 2025, and are expected to be recognized primarily as a component of cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the next twelve-month period, except for gains attributable to changes in fair value of the USD HUF cross currency swaps, which are discussed below.
The Company entered into USD HUF cross currency swaps in December 2021 to hedge the foreign currency risk on the HUF bonds due December 2031, and the fair value of the cross currency swaps was included in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities as of September 26, 2025, and in other current assets and other non-current liabilities as of March 31, 2025, respectively. The changes in fair value of the USD HUF cross currency swaps are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss. In addition, corresponding amounts are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss to other charges (income), net to offset the remeasurement of the underlying HUF bond principal, which also impacts the same line.

10. TRADE RECEIVABLES SALES PROGRAMS
11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The accounting guidance for fair value establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets) such as cash and cash equivalents and money market funds; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
The Company values foreign exchange forward contracts using level 2 observable inputs which primarily consist of an income approach based on the present value of the forward rate less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount.
The Company’s cash equivalents include bank time deposits and money market funds, which are valued using level 2 inputs, such as interest rates and maturity periods. Due to their short-term nature, their carrying amount approximates fair value.
20
The Company has accrued for contingent consideration related to an acquisition in fiscal year 2025, classified as a level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy due to significant unobservable inputs. Fair value is determined using internal cash flow models that incorporate unobservable inputs, including the probability of achieving performance milestones. As of September 26, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the balance of contingent consideration was $2 million and $5 million, respectively.
The Company has deferred compensation plans for its officers and certain other employees. Amounts deferred under the plans are invested in hypothetical investments selected by the participant or the participant's investment manager. The Company's deferred compensation plan assets are included in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets and include money market funds, mutual funds, corporate and government bonds and certain convertible securities that are valued using prices obtained from various pricing sources. These sources price these investments using certain market indices and the performance of these investments in relation to these indices. As a result, the Company has classified these investments as either level 1 or level 2, dependent on the valuation inputs, within the fair value hierarchy.
The significant inputs include the Company's probability assessments of expected future revenue during the earn-out periods, associated volatility, and a discount rate reflecting uncertainties in the obligation consistent with the terms of the purchase agreement. Significant changes in expected revenues or in the discount rate and volatility assumptions used would impact fair value estimates. The interrelationship between these inputs is not considered significant.
During the six-month periods ended September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024, there were no other additions to the accrual, payments, fair value adjustments, or unrealized gains or losses included in earnings.

HUF Bonds are valued based on the broker trading prices in an inactive market.
12. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of a manufacturing business in Bielsko Biała, Poland, for total purchase consideration of $35 million. The site is included in the FRS segment. The results of the acquired business are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. The allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Additional information, which existed as of the acquisition date, may become known to the Company during the remainder of the measurement period, a period not to exceed 12 months from the date of the acquisition. Changes to amounts recorded as assets and liabilities may result in a corresponding adjustment to goodwill during the measurement period.
The following represents the Company's initial allocation of the total purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities of the acquired business (in millions):
| Current Assets: | |||||

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation and other legal matters
In connection with the matters described below, the Company has accrued for loss contingencies where it believes that losses are probable and estimable. Although it is reasonably possible that actual losses could be in excess of the Company’s accrual, the Company is unable to estimate a reasonably possible loss or range of loss in excess of its accrual, due to various reasons, including, among others, that: (i) the proceedings are in early stages or no claims have been asserted, (ii) specific damages have not been sought in all of these matters, (iii) damages, if asserted, are considered unsupported and/or exaggerated, (iv) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals, motions, or settlements, (v) there are significant factual issues to be resolved, and/or (vi) there are novel legal issues or unsettled legal theories presented. Any such excess loss could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for a particular period or on the Company’s financial condition.
One of the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries received six assessments for certain sales and import taxes. Four of the assessments have been successfully definitively defeated. The Company was unsuccessful at the administrative level in two of the remaining assessments and filed annulment actions in federal court in Brasilia, Brazil. The first annulment action was filed on March 23, 2020; the updated value of that assessment inclusive of interest and penalties is 37 million Brazilian reals (approximately USD $7 million). The Brazilian court ruled in favor of the Company on the first annulment action on March 7, 2025 and the assessment obligation has been canceled, although it remains subject to appeal. The second annulment action was filed on September 19, 2023; the updated value of that assessment inclusive of interest and penalties is 60 million Brazilian reals (approximately USD $11 million). The Company is still awaiting a resolution of the second annulment action. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to these assessments and will continue to vigorously oppose them, as well as any future assessments. The Company does not expect final judicial determination on the remaining assessments and annulment actions in the near future.
A foreign Tax Authority (“Tax Authority”) had assessed a cumulative total of approximately $167 million in taxes owed for multiple Flex legal entities within its jurisdiction for various fiscal years ranging from fiscal year 2010 through fiscal year 2020. The assessed amounts related to the denial of certain deductible intercompany payments and taxability of income earned outside such jurisdiction. The Company disagrees with the Tax Authority’s remaining assessments and is actively contesting the assessments through the administrative and judicial processes.
As the final resolution of the above outstanding tax item remains uncertain, the Company continues to provide for the uncertain tax positions based on the more likely than not standard. While the resolution of the issues may result in tax liabilities, interest and penalties, which may be significantly higher than the amounts accrued for these matters, management currently believes that the resolution will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In addition to the matters discussed above, from time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously against any such claims. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, management expects that any losses that are probable or reasonably possible of being incurred as a result of these matters, which are in excess of amounts already accrued in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, would not be material to the financial statements as a whole.
14. SHARE REPURCHASES
During the three and six-month period ended September 26, 2025, the Company repurchased 5.6 million and 12.9 million shares at aggregate purchase prices of $297 million and $544 million, respectively, and retired all of these shares.
Under the Company’s current share repurchase program, the Board of Directors authorized repurchases of its outstanding ordinary shares for up to $1.7 billion in accordance with the share repurchase mandate approved by the Company’s shareholders at the most recent Annual General Meeting held on August 6, 2025. As of September 26, 2025, shares in the aggregate amount of $1.5 billion were available to be repurchased under the current plan.
15. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company reports its financial performance based on two
23
An operating segment's performance is evaluated based on its pre-tax operating contribution, or segment income. Segment income is defined as net sales less cost of sales, and segment selling, general and administrative expenses, and does not include amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation, certain restructuring and impairment charges, customer related asset impairment, legal and other, interest expense, interest income, other charges (income), net, and equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. A portion of depreciation is allocated to the respective segments, together with other general corporate, research and development and administrative expenses.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer is our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") who uses segment income in evaluating how we allocate resources, assess performance and make strategic and operational decisions.

Corporate and Other primarily includes corporate service costs that are not included in the CODM's assessment of the performance of each of the identified reportable segments.
The Company provides an overall platform of assets and services, which the segments utilize for the benefit of their various customers. The shared assets and services are contained within the Company's global manufacturing and design operations and include manufacturing and design facilities. Most of the underlying manufacturing and design assets are co-mingled in the operating campuses and are compatible to operate across segments and highly interchangeable throughout the platform. Given the highly interchangeable nature of the assets, they are not separately identified by segment nor reported by segment to the Company's CODM.
Property and equipment on a segment basis is not separately identified and is not internally reported by segment to the Company's CODM as described above.
Total depreciation expense, including amounts allocated to the reportable segments and Corporate and Other for the three and six-month periods ended September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024 are as follows:

OVERVIEW
We are the advanced, end-to-end manufacturing partner of choice that helps a diverse customer base design, build, deliver and manage innovative products that improve the world. Through the collective strength of a global workforce across approximately 30 countries with responsible, sustainable operations, we deliver technology innovation, supply chain, and manufacturing solutions to diverse industries and end markets. Our full suite of specialized capabilities includes design and engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, post-production and post-sale services, and proprietary products. We partner with customers across a diverse set of industries including data center, communications, enterprise, consumer, automotive, industrial, healthcare, and power. As of September 26, 2025, our two operating and reportable segments were as follows:
•Flex Agility Solutions ("FAS"), which is comprised of the following end markets:
◦Communications, Enterprise and Cloud ("CEC"), including data center, edge, and communications infrastructure
◦Lifestyle, including appliances, floorcare, smart living, Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning ("HVAC"), and power tools
◦Consumer Devices, including mobile and high velocity consumer devices
•Flex Reliability Solutions ("FRS"), which is comprised of the following end markets:
◦Industrial, including industrial devices, capital equipment, renewables, critical power, and embedded power
◦Automotive, including compute platforms, power electronics, motion, and interface
◦Health Solutions, including medical devices, medical equipment, and drug delivery
Our strategy is to provide customers with a full range of cost competitive, vertically-integrated global supply chain solutions through which we can design, build, ship and service a complete packaged product for our customers. This enables our customers to leverage our supply chain solutions to meet their product requirements throughout the entire product lifecycle.
In today’s business landscape, we are witnessing greater product diversification by many companies, primarily in the technology sector, along with increased product complexity. These companies now require unique and customized manufacturing and supply chain solutions that meet their evolving requirements.
We use a portfolio approach to manage our extensive service offerings. As our customers change the way they go to market, we have the capability to reorganize and rebalance our business portfolio in order to align with our customers' needs and requirements in an effort to optimize operating results. The objective of our business model is to allow us to be flexible and redeploy and reposition our assets and resources as necessary to meet specific customers' supply chain solution needs across all the markets we serve and earn a return on our invested capital above the weighted average cost of that capital.
We believe that our strategy has positioned us to take advantage of the long-term, future growth prospects for outsourcing of advanced manufacturing capabilities, design and engineering services and after-market services.
28
We are continuously evaluating our capital structure in response to the current environment and expect that our current financial condition, including our liquidity sources are adequate to fund future commitments. See additional discussion in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below.
Russian Invasion of Ukraine and Israel-Hamas Conflict
We continue to monitor and respond to the conflict in Ukraine and the associated sanctions and other restrictions. We also are monitoring and responding to the Israel-Hamas conflict. The full impact of the conflicts on our business operations and financial performance remains uncertain and will depend on future developments, including the severity and duration of the conflicts and their impact on regional and global economic conditions. We will continue to monitor the conflicts and assess the related restrictions and other effects and pursue prudent decisions for our team members, customers, and business.
During the three months ended September 26, 2025, the Company recognized a total of $41 million primarily in asset impairments and inventory write-downs as a result of a missile strike on its Mukachevo, Ukraine facility in Western Ukraine on August 21, 2025. The missile strike represents an unusual and infrequent event as hostilities related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine have been primarily focused in Eastern Ukraine. The missile strike caused substantial physical damage and disrupted normal operations at the facility. In response, the Company activated contingency manufacturing plans and transitioned production to alternative facilities. As restoration activities progress in Mukachevo, the Company expects to incur additional near-term inefficiencies. The $41 million in asset impairments and inventory write-downs are included in restructuring and impairment charges. For further information, refer to Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors - “Global economic conditions, including inflationary pressures, currency volatility, stagflation, slower economic growth or recession, high or rising interest rates, trade conflicts, tariffs, geopolitical uncertainty and instability in financial markets have in the past adversely affected, and may in the future adversely affect, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and access to capital markets.” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.
Tariffs
In the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the U.S. implemented a series of global tariffs, including on a number of countries in which Flex operates. Although we have been and expect to continue to be able to pass tariff costs through to our customers, the global tariff landscape, which continues to evolve, has the potential to meaningfully impact end customer demand. During the three and six-month periods ended September 26, 2025, tariff costs paid and recoveries from our customers impacted our revenues and costs of goods by approximately one percent and had a negligible impact on our profitability. If, in the future, we are no longer able to fully pass through these tariffs, our results from operations and cash flows would be negatively impacted. For further information, refer to Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors - "Global economic conditions, including inflationary pressures, currency volatility, stagflation, slower economic growth or recession, high or rising interest rates, trade conflicts, tariffs, geopolitical uncertainty and instability in financial markets have in the past adversely affected, and may in the future adversely affect, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and access to capital markets." in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

We believe that the combination of our extensive open innovation platform solutions, design and engineering services, advanced supply chain management solutions and services, significant scale and global presence, and manufacturing campuses, including many in low-cost geographic areas, provide us with a competitive advantage and strong differentiation in the market for designing, manufacturing and servicing products for leading multinational and regional customers. Specifically, we offer our customers the ability to simplify their global product development, manufacturing process, and after-sales services, and enable them to meaningfully accelerate their time to market and cost savings.
Our operating results are affected by a number of factors, including the following:
•global economic conditions, including inflationary pressures, currency volatility, stagflation, slower economic growth or recession, high or rising interest rates, trade conflicts, including trade restrictions impacting the semiconductor supply chain, tariffs, geopolitical uncertainty and conflicts (including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict) and instability in financial markets;
30
•the impacts on our business due to supply chain issues, including component shortages, semiconductors and particularly involving suppliers who are our sole or primary sources, disruptions in transportation or other supply chain related constraints;
•the mix of the manufacturing services we are providing, the number, size, and complexity of new manufacturing programs, the degree to which we utilize our manufacturing capacity, seasonal demand, and other factors;
•the effects on our business when our customers are not successful in marketing their products, or when their products do not gain widespread commercial acceptance;
•our ability to achieve commercially viable production yields and to manufacture components in commercial quantities to the performance specifications demanded by our customers;
•the effects on our business due to certain customers' products having short product lifecycles, our customers' ability to cancel or delay orders or change production quantities or locations, the short-term nature of our customers' commitments and rapid changes in demand;
•the effects that current credit and market conditions could have on the liquidity and financial condition of our customers and suppliers, including any impact on their ability to meet their contractual obligations;
•integration of acquired businesses and facilities;
•increased labor costs due to adverse labor conditions in the markets we operate;
•changes in tax legislation; and
•changes in trade regulations and treaties
We are also subject to other risks as outlined in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Due to global economic conditions, including the impact of ongoing trade conflicts and tariffs, and geopolitical conflicts (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas conflict), there has been and we expect there will continue to be uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. We have made estimates and assumptions taking into consideration certain possible impacts due to the foregoing factors. These estimates may change, as new events occur, and additional information is obtained. Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts, and such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period they occur.
Refer to the accounting policies under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, where we discuss our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net sales during the three-month period ended September 26, 2025 totaled $6.8 billion, representing an increase of approximately $0.3 billion, or 4% from $6.5 billion during the three-month period ended September 27, 2024. Net sales for our FAS segment increased approximately $0.2 billion, or 4% from the three-month period ended September 27, 2024, primarily driven by a mid-teen percentage increase in our CEC business from increased demand in data center cloud, partially offset by an expected decrease in traditional telecom and consumer end-markets. Net sales for our FRS segment increased approximately $0.1 billion, or 3% from the three-month period ended September 27, 2024, which was primarily driven by low double-digit growth in our Industrial business with strength in power and moderate growth in Health Solutions, partially offset by a mid-single-digit decrease in our Automotive business due to lower demand. Net sales remained consistent in Asia and Europe at $2.0 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively and increased $0.3 billion to $3.4 billion in the Americas.
Net sales during the six-month period ended September 26, 2025 totaled $13.4 billion, representing an increase of approximately $0.5 billion, or 4% from $12.9 billion during the six-month period ended September 27, 2024. Net sales for our FAS segment increased approximately $0.5 billion, or 7% from the six-month period ended September 27, 2024, primarily driven by a high-teen percentage increase in our CEC business from increased demand in data center cloud, partially offset by a significant decrease in our Consumer Devices business due to lower demand. Net sales for our FRS segment increased
32
approximately $34 million, or 1% from the six-month period ended September 27, 2024, primarily driven by a low single-digit percentage increase in our Industrial business, primarily in power due to data center growth and business acquisitions, offset by a mid-single-digit percentage decrease in our Automotive business due to lower demand. Net sales remained consistent in Asia at $3.9 billion, decreased by $0.1 billion to $2.7 billion in Europe, and increased $0.6 billion to $6.8 billion in the Americas.
Our ten largest customers during the three and six-month periods ended September 26, 2025 accounted for approximately 46% and 47% of net sales, respectively. No customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales during the six-month periods ended September 26, 2025 or September 27, 2024.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales is affected by a number of factors, including the number and size of new manufacturing programs, product mix, labor cost fluctuations by region, component costs and availability and capacity utilization.
Cost of sales during the three-month period ended September 26, 2025 totaled $6.2 billion, representing an increase of $0.2 billion, or 3% from $6.0 billion during the three-month period ended September 27, 2024. The higher cost of sales for the three-month period ended September 26, 2025 was primarily driven by a $0.3 billion, or 4%, increase in consolidated sales, partially offset by cost efficiencies and favorable mix. Cost of sales in our FAS segment for the three-month period ended September 26, 2025 increased by 4% from the three-month period ended September 27, 2024, in line with revenue growth. Cost of sales in our FRS segment for the three-month period ended September 26, 2025 increased by 2% from the three-month period ended September 27, 2024, primarily driven by revenue growth of 3%, partially offset by favorable mix and cost efficiencies.
Cost of sales during the six-month period ended September 26, 2025 totaled $12.2 billion, representing an increase of $0.3 billion, or 3% from $11.8 billion during the six-month period ended September 27, 2024. The higher cost of sales for the six-month period ended September 26, 2025 was primarily driven by a $0.5 billion, or 4% increase in consolidated sales. Cost of sales in our FAS segment for the six-month period ended September 26, 2025 increased approximately $0.4 billion, or 6%, from the six-month period ended September 27, 2024 due to revenue growth of 7%. Cost of sales in our FRS segment for the six-month period ended September 26, 2025 decreased approximately $0.1 billion, or 1%, from the six-month period ended September 27, 2024 due to a favorable mix and cost efficiencies, partially offset by revenue growth of 1%.

Gross profit is affected by fluctuations in net sales and cost of sales elements as outlined above and further by a number of factors, including product lifecycles, unit volumes, product mix, pricing, competition, new product introductions, and the expansion or consolidation of manufacturing facilities, as well as specific restructuring activities initiated from time to time. The flexible design of our manufacturing processes allows us to manufacture a broad range of products in our facilities and better utilize our manufacturing capacity across our diverse geographic footprint and service customers from all markets. In the case of new programs, profitability normally lags revenue growth due to product start-up costs, lower manufacturing program volumes in the start-up phase, operational inefficiencies, and under-absorbed overhead. Gross margin for these programs often improves over time as manufacturing volumes increase, as our utilization rates and overhead absorption improve, and as we increase the level of manufacturing services content. As a result of these various factors, our gross margin varies from period to period.
Gross profit during the three-month period ended September 26, 2025 increased $0.1 billion to $0.6 billion, or 9.0% of net sales, from $0.5 billion, or 8.1% of net sales, during the three-month period ended September 27, 2024. Gross margin improved 90 basis points year over year primarily due to favorable mix and continued operational execution.
Gross profit during the six-month period ended September 26, 2025 increased $0.2 billion to $1.2 billion, or 8.9% of net sales, from $1.0 billion, or 7.8% of net sales, during the six-month period ended September 27, 2024. Gross margin improved 110 basis points year over year primarily due to favorable mix and continued operational execution.
Segment income
An operating segment's performance is evaluated based on its pre-tax operating contribution, or segment income. Segment income is defined as net sales less cost of sales, and segment selling, general and administrative expenses, and does not include amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation, certain restructuring and impairment charges, customer related asset impairment, legal and other, interest expense, interest income, other charges (income), net, and equity in earnings of
33
unconsolidated affiliates. A portion of depreciation is allocated to the respective segments, together with other general corporate, research and development and administrative expenses.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer is our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") who uses segment income in evaluating how we allocate resources, assess performance and make strategic and operational decisions.
The following table sets forth segment income and margins. Segment margins in the table below may not recalculate exactly due to rounding.

FAS segment margin decreased by 10 basis points to 6.0% for the three-month period ended September 26, 2025, compared to the three-month period ended September 27, 2024, as continued margin growth in cloud was offset by the effect of revenue decreases in our consumer businesses. The FAS segment margin increased approximately 60 basis points, to 6.3% for the six-month period ended September 26, 2025 from 5.7% for the six-month period ended September 27, 2024, primarily due to continued margin growth in cloud offset by the effect of revenue decreases in our consumer businesses.
FRS segment margin increased approximately 110 basis points to 6.5% for the three-month period ended September 26, 2025, compared to 5.4% for the three-month period ended September 27, 2024, primarily driven by favorable mix with growth in power and renewables. FRS segment margin increased approximately 100 basis points to 6.2% for the six-month period ended September 26, 2025 compared to 5.2% for the six-month period ended September 27, 2024, primarily driven by favorable mix and strong execution across the portfolio.
Restructuring and impairment charges
We undertook targeted restructuring activities to improve operational efficiencies by reducing excess workforce capacity. During the three and six-month periods ended September 26, 2025, we recognized approximately $10 million and $33 million of restructuring charges, respectively, primarily related to employee severance. In addition, we incurred $41 million in impairment and other charges related to a missile strike on our Mukachevo, Ukraine facility, as discussed in the Overview section above.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) was $0.3 billion, or 3.8% of net sales, during the three-month period ended September 26, 2025, increasing by $44 million compared to the three-month period ended September 27, 2024. The increase was largely driven by increases in employee compensation and other corporate costs. SG&A was $0.5 billion or 3.7%, of net sales, during the six-month period ended September 26, 2025, increasing $64 million from $0.4 billion or 3.3% of net sales during the six-month period ended September 27, 2024, driven by the same factors as noted for the three-month period.
Intangible amortization
Amortization of intangible assets remained consistent at $16 million for the three-month period ended September 26, 2025, compared to $16 million in the previous year as amortization related to acquisitions from the second half of fiscal year 2025 was offset by the effect of other intangible assets fully amortizing at the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. Amortization increased to $37 million during the six-month period ended September 26, 2025, from $32 million for the six-month period ended September 27, 2024 as a result of acquisitions from the second half of fiscal year 2025.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased to $52 million for the three-month period ended September 26, 2025, from $53 million during the three-month period ended September 27, 2024. Interest expense decreased to $103 million during the six-month period ended September 26, 2025 compared to $109 million during the six-month period ended September 27, 2024. Decreased interest expense was primarily driven by a decrease in lower commercial paper borrowings and reduced receivables factoring costs, partially offset by increased interest expense on our long-term debt.
34
Interest income
Interest income decreased to $10 million for the three-month period ended September 26, 2025 compared to $16 million for the same period in fiscal year 2025. Interest income decreased to $23 million for the six-month period ended September 26, 2025 compared to $32 million for the six-month period ended September 27, 2024. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to lower interest rates.
Other charges (income), net
Other income, net was $13 million during the three-month period ended September 26, 2025 compared to $8 million during the three-month period ended September 27, 2024, primarily due to a higher tax receivable agreement payment from Flex's former subsidiary Nextracker partially offset by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates during the quarter.
Other income, net remained consistent at $6 million for the six-month periods ended September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024 as increased foreign exchanges losses offset the effect of higher tax receivable agreement payments from Nextracker.
Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates
Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates of $5 million during the three-month period ended September 26, 2025 was consistent with losses of $4 million in the three-month period ended September 27, 2024, due to losses in certain non-core equity method investments.
Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates was $25 million during the six-month period ended September 26, 2025, compared to $3 million in the six-month period ended September 27, 2024, primarily due to a $17 million loss related to a specific venture capital fund in the three-month period ended June 27, 2025.
Income taxes
Certain of our subsidiaries, at various times, have been granted tax relief in their respective countries, resulting in lower income taxes than would otherwise be the case under ordinary tax rates. Refer to note 15, “Income Taxes” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 for further discussion.
The consolidated effective tax rate was 24% and 23% for the three and six-month periods ended September 26, 2025, and 19% and 23% for the three and six-month periods ended September 27, 2024, respectively. The effective rate varies from the Singapore statutory rate of 17% as a result of recognition of earnings in different jurisdictions (we generate most of our revenues and profits from operations outside of Singapore), operating loss carryforwards, income tax credits, release of previously established valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, liabilities for uncertain tax positions, as well as the effects of certain tax holidays and incentives granted to our subsidiaries primarily in China, Costa Rica, Malaysia, the Netherlands and Israel. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended September 26, 2025 was higher than the effective tax rate for the three-month period ended September 27, 2024, for a variety of reasons, primarily due to the changing jurisdiction of income and the minimal tax benefit recorded on the $41 million Mukachevo, Ukraine asset impairment and related charges recognized in the three-months ended September 26, 2025.
The OECD Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion (“GloBE”) model rules, issued under the OECD Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting, introduce a global minimum tax of 15% applicable to multinational enterprise groups with consolidated financial statement revenue in excess of €750 million. Numerous foreign jurisdictions have already enacted tax legislation based on the GloBE rules, with some effective as early as January 1, 2024. As of September 26, 2025, the Company has reflected all estimated impacts of the Pillar Two GloBE minimum tax accordingly within its estimated annual effective tax rate for the year.
On July 4, 2025, The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA makes permanent various provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which otherwise would have expired as well as makes significant modifications to the U.S. international tax framework. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the OBBBA to our consolidated financial statements.
Net income
Net income was $199 million during the three-month period ended September 26, 2025, compared to $214 million during the three-month period ended September 27, 2024 and net income was $391 million during the six-month period ended September 26, 2025 compared to $353 million during the six-month period ended September 27, 2024, driven by the factors discussed above.
35
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We continuously evaluate our ability to meet our obligations over the next 12 months and beyond and proactively reset our capital structure to improve maturities and liquidity. We expect that our current financial condition, including our liquidity sources are adequate to fund current and future commitments. As of September 26, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.2 billion, bank and other borrowings of approximately $3.7 billion and a $2.75 billion revolving credit facility under which we had no borrowings outstanding. As of September 26, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants under all of our credit facilities and indentures; we also expect to remain in compliance with the covenants in the upcoming 12 months for our credit facilities and indentures.
Cash provided by operating activities was $0.9 billion during the six-month period ended September 26, 2025, primarily driven by $0.4 billion of net income for the period plus $0.3 billion of non-cash charges such as depreciation, amortization, and impairment charges and $0.2 billion of changes in working capital and other.
We believe net working capital is a key metric that measures our liquidity. Net working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities. Net working capital increased approximately $0.5 billion to $3.5 billion as of September 26, 2025, from $3.0 billion as of March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily the result of a $0.5 billion decrease in the current portion of long-term debt driven by the repayment of the 4.750% Senior Notes during the first quarter. Other movements in working capital largely offset themselves with increases of $0.2 billion in accounts receivable, $0.2 billion in contract assets, $0.2 billion in inventory, and $0.5 billion in other current assets, against increases of $1.0 billion in accounts payable and $0.1 billion in other current liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0.3 billion during the six-month period ended September 26, 2025. This was primarily driven by $0.3 billion of net capital expenditures for property and equipment to continue expanding capabilities and capacity in support of our business growth as well as payment for a business acquisition during the period.
We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity metric because it measures, during a given period, the amount of cash generated that is available to repay debt obligations, make investments, fund acquisitions, repurchase company shares and for certain other activities. Our free cash flow is defined as cash from operations, less net purchases of property and equipment allowing us to present adjusted cash flows on a consistent basis for investors. Our free cash flow for the six-month periods ended September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024 was an inflow of $0.6 billion and $0.5 billion, respectively. Free cash flow is not a measure of liquidity under U.S. GAAP, and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. Free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities. Free cash flows reconcile to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure of cash flows from operations as follows:

| September 26, 2025 | September 27, 2024 | ||||||||||

| Purchases of property and equipment | (283) | (214) | |||||||||
| Proceeds from the disposition of property and equipment | 4 | 6 | |||||||||
| Free cash flow | $ | 573 | $ | 451 | |||||||
Cash used by financing activities was $0.6 billion during the six-month period ended September 26, 2025, which was primarily driven by $0.5 billion of cash paid for the repurchase of our ordinary shares and debt repayments of $0.5 billion, offset by borrowings of $0.5 billion.
Our cash balances are generated and held in numerous locations throughout the world. Liquidity is affected by many factors, some of which are based on normal ongoing operations of the business and some of which arise from fluctuations related to global economics and markets. Local government regulations may restrict our ability to move cash balances to meet cash needs under certain circumstances; however, any current restrictions are not material. We do not currently expect such regulations and restrictions to impact our ability to pay vendors and conduct operations throughout the global organization. We believe that our existing cash balances, together with anticipated cash flows from operations and borrowings available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least the next twelve months and beyond. As of September 26, 2025 and March 31, 2025, approximately 59% and 81%, respectively, of our cash and cash equivalents were held by foreign subsidiaries outside of Singapore. Although substantially all of the amounts held outside of Singapore could be repatriated under current laws, a significant amount could be subject to income tax withholdings. We provide for tax liabilities on these amounts for financial statement purposes, except for certain of our foreign earnings that are considered indefinitely reinvested outside of Singapore (approximately $0.8 billion as of March 31, 2025). Repatriation could result in an additional income tax payment; however, for the majority of our foreign entities, our intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside of
36
Singapore and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our operations in jurisdictions outside of where they are held. Where local restrictions prevent an efficient intercompany transfer of funds, our intent is that cash balances would remain outside of Singapore and we would meet our liquidity needs through ongoing cash flows, external borrowings, or both.
Future liquidity needs will depend on fluctuations in levels of inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable, the timing of capital expenditures for new equipment, the extent to which we utilize operating leases for new facilities and equipment, and the levels of shipments and changes in the volumes of customer orders.
We maintain a commercial paper program which provides short-term financing under which there were no borrowings outstanding as of September 26, 2025.
Historically, we have funded operations from cash and cash equivalents generated from operations, proceeds from public offerings of equity and debt securities, bank debt and lease financings. We may enter into debt and equity financings, sales of accounts receivable and lease transactions to fund acquisitions and anticipated growth as needed.
The sale or issuance of equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution to current shareholders. Further, we may issue debt securities that have rights and privileges senior to those of holders of ordinary shares, and the terms of this debt could impose restrictions on operations and could increase debt service obligations. This increased indebtedness could limit our flexibility as a result of debt service requirements and restrictive covenants, potentially affect our credit ratings, and may limit our ability to access additional capital or execute our business strategy. Any downgrades in credit ratings could adversely affect our ability to borrow as a result of more restrictive borrowing terms. We continue to assess our capital structure and evaluate the merits of redeploying available cash to reduce existing debt or repurchase ordinary shares.
Under our current share repurchase program, our Board of Directors authorized repurchases of our outstanding ordinary shares for up to $1.7 billion in accordance with the share purchase mandate approved by our shareholders at the date of the most recent Annual General Meeting which was held on August 6, 2025. During the six-month period ended September 26, 2025, we paid $0.5 billion to repurchase shares under the current and previous repurchase plans at an average price of $42.35 per share. As of September 26, 2025, shares in the aggregate amount of $1.5 billion were available to be repurchased under the current plan.
Warrant
On August 15, 2025, the Company issued a warrant (the “Warrant”) to Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC (“Warrantholder”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. (“Parent”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,859,851 ordinary shares of the Company (“Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $51.29 per share. The Warrant allows for cashless exercise and expires on August 15, 2030. The Warrant Shares are subject to vesting based on qualifying payments (as defined in the Warrant) for the purchase of all products and services by or on behalf of Parent and its affiliates over the term of the Warrant. The expense associated with the Warrant Shares will be recorded as a deduction to revenue as the customer purchases products and services over the vesting period. The Company recorded charges of $2 million during the three months ended September 26, 2025.
